For your first trip, you will be taking a short trip to anywhere in the United States. You will have a beginning budget of $900, but that needs to pay for your travel expenses to and from your destination. You can visit places that are nearby. You can travel by plane, train or automobile. If visiting relatives, you may only stay with them for one night, but it would be nice to bring them a 'gift' which also comes from your budget.

While on your trip, you will need to describe your activities and experiences and inform us about things you discovered. These will be described in your expository writing (see Expository directions). At the conclusion of your trip, you will also write a persuasive paper to tell people why they should (or should not) visit the destination of your choice. Each writing assignment will earn you money for your future trips.

Get ready for an exciting and realistic journey and be ready to do your research. You may take on the perspective as an adult, but that is not necessary. You can bring your parents and family along, but you do not have to pay for their expenses. They also will not pay for yours.
